suggestions from the best.

les's christmas list for best friends who love owls and shabby chic finds and that live 795 miles apart:

  • le crueset dutch oven
  • dishtowels from target here and here.
  • Mastering the Art of French Cooking by julia child (les says: which also appears on my christmas list!)
  • magazine subscriptions; (les says: i have been enjoying body & soul - a publication of martha stewart; its tagline reminds me of you: balanced living in a busy world)
  • anything from anthro (les says: I would highly recommend riding boots---they are much more versatile than cowboy boots anyway.)
  • a keurig would also be handy (les says: i am ambivalent about them because they generate more waste than a coffee maker, but it's so convenient and fun and gadgetey!)
  • soap of the month club, like this local one from vermont.

May I recommend-- as an alternative to the Keurig... a french coffee press. No need for a filter at all.. and it makes such smooth, yummy coffee.

I really like these ones (especially the lime green).

Take it from me. I know coffee. (I live in perc. city)
